About

Holiday at the Arboretum transforms the Dallas Arboretum into a festive wonderland, blending cherished traditions with new experiences. Guests can stroll through the dazzling 12 Days of Christmas gazebos, shop and celebrate in our European-inspired Christmas Village, and admire the elegant Merry Monochromatic décor inside the historic DeGolyer House.

New for 2025 we’re introducing Night Glow, powered by AURORA. This one-of-a-kind, after dark experience illuminates the gardens with radiant, artist-curated light installations blending botanical beauty with luminous creativity for a truly unforgettable holiday experience.
